Definitive G05 MYs upgradable to Android Auto?

doublezero · 10-01-2022, 11:42 AM

Looking to get a used or CPO G05 xdrive40i and preferring to get one with Android Auto capability b/c I use AA so much when I travel for the live police and other reporting you miss with the default nav. Model year '21+ I know has AA but have seen some conflicting things about older models and the OTA upgrade options for AA.

Are all 2020 X5 xdrive40i US models upgradeable (OTA) to support AA? Some or all 2019s?

I know you need iDrive 7 which I think is standard on all G05 US models? AND then you need Live Cockpit Pro or Plus option SA6U3, maybe one more option. BUT when shopping, almost no sites list the Option codes along with the vehicle specs and most do not show it on the "window sticker."

Inventory is such crap right now, I'm trying to expand my search a bit. Appreciate any help here. Thank you.

My 2019 runs AA fine and I use it all the time.

All G05's are capable of CarPlay/AA.
